"The Street Cafe" Here is plenty of color and movement for the artist to portray the joys of a street cafe in summer with umbrella tables. This splendid display of summer relaxation at an outdoor coffee shop under the shade of umbrellas is beautifully renderedin impressionism. Ovals and circular shapes, such as umbrellas, provide pleasant forms.The scene is bathed in warm sunlight,yet the palette is in cool tones. A latte, tea or a java and a doughnut would be nice. As artists often do, he places himself in the scene. He's sitting with his beautiful wife, Isabelle. She's wearing a white bonnet.
